120 page book with CD
Critical Ear series, vol. 4
A pioneer since the early 60s in sound art and digital composition, Yasunao Tone has composed for Merce Cunningham (alongside John Cage) and been a member of the groups Ongaku, Hi-Red Center, and Fluxus. He is unabashedly avant-garde and continues today to engage questions of noise, language, and systems of representation. This indispensable monograph catalogues the artist's career through documentation of seminal projects. Including a CD of works ranging from early performance experiments to current digital projects.
